Deon Hignett - Rondebosch - 2010 -

The main reason (other than because it's a locally produced product) why I started testing GSCHV bullets is because I'm going to hunt Ibex in Kyrgisztan in September of this year.
I chose my .308 as it's the lightest rifle I have (we'll be hunting on horseback in the mountains) and combined with GSCHV (130gr, as recommended by Gerard) I'm pretty confident out to about 400m.

This is a photo of a three shot group I shot at 100m (sorry for the poor quality, I had to use my cellphone camera). I didn't measure the group but the hole is barely bigger than bullet diameter.

As part of the testing, other than testing on paper, I have shot wild boar, impala and mountain reedbuck over varying distances. All animals died and died quickly (either falling in their own shadow or within a few paces)! All shots produced a nice neat entry wound and in some cases more than one exit wound (the petals breaking off?). All shots have been 100% pass-through (so no bullet recovery, which doesn't bother me in the slightest). Acceptable meat damage (although for trophy hunting this isn't to much of a consideration).

We are looking forward to receiving further feedback on your overseas hunt, Deon. ~ TFD.
